Storyteller's SecretBoxarooEscape roomIRLStoryteller’s secret is by far one of my top escape rooms played. The set design was amazing down to the very last detail. The theme made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The puzzles were extremely creative and well thought out. I highly recommend this room if you’re in the Boston area.

The Body ShopRed Fox EscapesEscape roomIRLThe set design was extremely immersive and every puzzle fit perfectly into the theme. I appreciated the creative theme and many of the puzzles were well thought out. aside from flowing well with the theme of the room puzzles were challenging, engaging, clever and unique. highly recommended.
Dr. Gem’s Time TrapMaine Escape GamesEscape roomIRLInitially I thought this game would be overwhelming, but it turned out to be great fun instead. What I appreciated the most about this room was how cohesively every puzzle tied in with the storyline. In a time travel themed room, one is never really sure how that element of time travel will be presented. And Maine Escape Games did it brilliantly. The room was high-tech and to my delight everything worked the way it was supposed to. We were a team of 2 who managed to get out in just over an hour. We appreciated the game master gave us those few extra minutes to complete our mission. However, I do not appreciate their weekend pricing structure for 2 players. Still highly recommended.
Cheesie's Pizza Party60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLI loved the creative theming and the set design brought me back to my childhood. The puzzles were very creative and a good time was had by all
Heist HavocRedacted Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThe puzzles got better as the game went on and ended on a strong note. I would recommend this room to smaller groups as larger groups may have people standing around feeling superfluous due to the mostly linear nature of this room. I have rarely encountered a toolkit to use in the room, and I appreciated that immersive detail that made the game more fun. I was initially worried that this toolkit would be too complex and would feel like a chore, but my fears were quickly set aside as this was not the case. Overall, I had a positive experience and fun playing this game with my family.
Magic Heist60 to Escape - SchaumburgEscape roomIRLBeautiful and intricate set design where clearly a lot of time and thought was put into the room. The puzzles were unique, too.
Conundrum MuseumBoxarooEscape roomIRLOf the 2 games I’ve played at Boxaroo, both were top notch. Our game master had to do some acting at the beginning, and it was very believable and immersive. The game itself had an interesting theme and the set design made me feel like I really was in a small art gallery. Most of the puzzles made sense and were a pleasure to execute upon. Overall, I would highly recommend conundrum museum.
The Heart of the MountainBeyond EscapeEscape roomIRLOne of the most creative themes I’ve ever encountered in an escape room. There was nothing gory, which I appreciated and the room was actually quite sweet. The puzzles were unique and everything worked the way that it was supposed to. This room had the right blend of challenging puzzles without being frustrating. I love supporting family-owned businesses and our game master was fantastic.
Timeliner: Train Through TimeThe Escape Game - LynnfieldEscape roomIRLI was very excited to find an escape room with a time travel theme. The theme was cute and as you can probably imagine, this combined several themes into one overarching theme. The puzzles were creative and everything fit well within the theme. I would’ve liked to see a few more stops on the time travel train, perhaps expanding this one out to a 90 minute room. Lots of fun!!!!!
